Reports from all three daughters, fairly frequent lightning towards Leicester/Derby, gradually approaching Notts from the south......they sent me some vids 😁

They know who to inform if there are storms or snow!! 😁

An amazing light show, the best since my trip to China.😎

Not much rain, as the worst passed just to my east and northeast.

Nottingham and Derby are really getting it hard now.🌩️

Some thunder rumbling to my south at the moment but looks like missing here. Had a brief shower earlier but nothing to write home about.

I thought TWO readers would appreciate this photo on a lightning strike in Lincolnshire yesterday. A house in Cleethorpes was damaged when it took a direct hit from a lightning strike as thunderstorms swept across the country in the early hours of Friday.

No thunderstorms here in the end yesterday, which was great. Turned into a really warm and sunny afternoon 

Unfortunately, there are more warnings out again for today
